you admire chuck hagel? >> i like him. i only let him once. he gave me one interview which has been hijacked -- >> well the viewers why it has been hijacked. he said the jewish lobby intim dates a lot of people, and as a result of the words has been severely criticized. >> if you live in washington, as you and i have done for many years now, you would have to be in a coma if you didn't affect the fact that the jewish community has a powerful voice. and chuck acknowledges it, and he is one of the few willing and able to adopt a somewhat independent view of these matters, and the notion that chuck hagel, the use of his words suggested he is not qualified for the secretary of defense or he is hostile, i think that's wrong. we talked about shared values and his support for the basic security needs of the israelis, and i think he gets it. and, look, whether or not he is confirmed, his positions on iran, on santions, but this man should not be vilified on the basis of the interview he gave to me or his record. >> i have known him for a long time and

hagel had nothing to do about, and he's shaming liberals, i say this as a liberal. he's shaming us into saying we have to not put our partisanship ahead of ourselves and what the obama administration is doing and setting a good example. >> he's been going on for more than eight hours. for people who have not heard, let's see what he's talking about. let's hear what he's saying. >> the problem is, once he gets into the fbi, the ludicrous nature of what he's asserting will be paramount. i can't imagine that he can argue at that point that we're not going to obey the bill of rights with the fbi because we already do with the fbi. so many of the answers are pretty simple here and pretty easy, and i just can't imagine why he's resisting doing this. >> right now also at the jefferson hotel, president obama has been meeting with republican senators, i understand, it looks like the senators, some of them have been leaving the dinner. it appears to be over. these things both going on different parts of washington. margaret, what do you make of it? >> the filibuster, i can't
